Do you enjoy helping people achieve their goals?

Are you looking for more than “just a job”?

Do you have a passion supporting people with disabilities?

This is an occupation that will allow you to keep healthy, fit, and active, as well as working with like-minded people for an organisation that values respect, diversity, and integrity.

An integral part of our services is ensuring there is a good match between our customers and our support workers. We don’t operate on a one size fits all approach and we are happy to help people starting out in the disability support industry. So, your individual background, values and attitudes are just as important to us as your skills and experience.

In a Support Worker Role, no two days are the same, but regular activities may involve:

Supporting customers with outings, social activities, after school support and other daily routines.
Providing companionship and support to assist customers to develop their existing skills, abilities and confidence.
Assisting with daily living tasks and chores such as shopping, menu planning, cooking and/or providing personal care
Writing up notes at the end of each shift
Dropping into the Ancora office for a team meeting or to attend training

The hours

Working hours are very flexible, with a variety of minimum hours on offer. We provide services 24/7 and have both short and long shifts during the day, afternoon, night (including overnight), and weekend shifts available. We can help make your work-life balance a reality.
